to be used as chicken coops or playground equipment. The exception will be the higher end stuff that will go to China or Russia for examination and copying.



The Hodgies, despite their obsession with the traditions of centuries ago, are a resourceful people. They might even be able to get some of the equipment operational. But you don't get a second chance when you are flying an advanced helicopter or jet aircraft, and the parts and technology do not come from ebay. As to the small arms left behind, there was no shortage of that stuff in that part of the world. And there were plenty of countries who were not supportive of the US willing to send more.
